PREFACE. 



In the accompanying report I have endeavored to account for 
everyone who at any time was a member of the class, and for that 
purpose have carefully examined the annual catalogues, the numbers 
of the " Bugle," etc., finding that in all fifty-six names have appeared 
on the roll of the class. Brown, Hastings, Lumbert and Williams 
never attended recitations with the class, leaving fifty-two to be ac- 
counted for, of whom twenty-eight received degrees at graduation 
and twenty-four left college without a degree (Hathaway, Libby, 
Martin, Nichols and Sawyer afterwards received a degree). Of those 
who graduated with the class, thirteen are residents of Maine, four of 
Massachusetts, two of California, one of each of the States of New 
Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wis- 
consin and Washington, and tw T o are deceased. Of the others, ten 
are residents of Maine, four of Massachusetts, three of New Hamp- 
shire, two of New York, one of each of the States of Illinois, 
Colorado and Florida, and one deceased; residence unknown, one. 
As to profession, eleven of the graduates are lawyers, seven business 
men, three teachers, two editors, one a minister, one an engineer, 
and one a physician. Of the others, seven are business men, six 
physicians, four lawyers, two architects, one a clergyman, one an 
editor ; occupation unknown, two. I have endeavored to state noth- 
ing but facts, leaving opinions, whether of praise or blame, to others. 
It may be noticed that some of the dates do not agree with the 
General Catalogue of the College, and can only say that I give 
them as given to me by those who ought to be most interested. 

It is unfortunate that a greater number of portraits could not 
have been included in the group of recent pictures, as the compar- 
ison of this group with that composed of the class pictures would 
have had a still greater interest. 

The class meeting will be held in Brunswick, Thursday, June 26th, 
and the class supper in the evening at the Falmouth Hotel in Port- 
land.
